saving the men on the 400 foot level. The
engines are busily engaged in pumping air to
the levees where the miners are imprisoned.
Thousands of persons surround the mines
and the most intense excitement prevails. No
effort is being made to put out the fire as it
is impossible to ascertain where it is.
